Fortunately, most of the most prominent living moral & political philosophers have such pages, although some who would surely be on the list do not (e.g., Allan Gibbard, Thomas Nagel, Martha Nussbaum). I only count those most of whose citations are in moral and political philosophy. (I excluded those primarily working in bioethics, which has promiscuous citation practices, as does medicine as a scholarly field generally.)

The top of the list is dominated by philosophers who work in political philosophy, no doubt because that work gets cited more outside academic philosophy (e.g., in political science and law journals). The “most cited” “pure” moral philosopher on the list is Korsgaard.




Follow up; not sure about the tarski claim but the Araghchi claim is correct
